I’m very proud of the work we were able to get done together in Guelph. I hope more municipalities can move towards better inclusion, and we get stronger legislation at the provincial and federal levels.

[Councillor Caton @CouncillorCaton]

I did an accessibility town hall as a wrap up of work that @cityofguelph has done, with details of issues in all layers of government and how that impacts the municipal system. It’s now online and available for others to learn how you can push for change. https://t.co/xeY6yMCsUD

A 45-minute flight to Kingston.

A planned flight to London.

Here’s how Premier Doug Ford has been skipping the 401 commute and flying to announcements in Ontario instead.

All billed to taxpayers.

Joannie’s portable oxygen unit broke just when she needs it most. She’s facing tough times with asthma and every donation can help her breathe easier. Please share and consider contributing to her GoFundMe. Every bit helps! https://t.co/p1nbq67aVx

When my kid has to leave school because she’s having a nose bleed because of perfumed products worn by other kids, are they going to be sent home because they forcing her grade down unless I pay for a doctors note each time?

[Jill Promoli @jillpromoli]

Can we have explicit confirmation that a doctor’s note will now be required to excuse a student’s absence due to illness?

For a fever?
For vomiting?

Clarity is vital here. My child died as a result of illness in the classroom and I would like to know.

@ESL_fairy @DeeTee1948 @jillpromoli @fordnation @PaulCalandra Is he going to expand OHIP to have covered doctors notes for all GPs, pharmacies and telehealth? Do girls with hard periods get subscription doctors notes? Will it be a part of the orthodontist cost?

@CanadianJoannie @twistedparent May this be a fully effective surgery with full healing. You got this.

@anenigma420 @gfliverpool9966 I think the base intent is to help, and a lot of harm can start online, but regulation rather than a ban is where I would like to see efforts. Pathways to report harm that have to be actioned if the platform wants to do business here is better I think.

[Erin Caton @erin]

How does a full ban approach help kids who use social media as their lifelines to connect with others like them? The neurodivergent and queer kids in small towns with no other resources? Kids with unsupportive families? Kids with abusive parents?

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

We can all agree that kids should be protected.

Big tech and AI platform are targeting young people before their brains are fully developed. Manitoba is taking action by banning social media and AI chatbots for kids under 16.

It’s about taking back control over our kids eduction, socialization and in the long term, taking back control of our democracy. 🇨🇦

People with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) often face barriers in healthcare due to chemical exposures.
Fragrance-free environments can help improve access.

Thank you. To help pass Marit Stiles’ motion, go to https://t.co/MJOOuseSLz and use the email tool. It will send an email to every single Ontario PC MPP.

The more emails that are sent, the more pressure we can put on the MPPs to break with Doug Ford and support this common-sense motion.

[Kathryn @kadamssl]

Oh, chronic absenteeism after the pandemic has risen to over 60% for high school students in Ontario?

That’s because IT’S NOT AFTER THE PANDEMIC

Kids are missing school because they are sick, and this is happening on a global scale.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility from your friends at ASEQ-EHAQ!

[Erin Caton @erin]

@shesrideordie Thank you! I’m very proud of everything I got done this term, I just can’t afford the pay cut required to do the job full-time. I’ll still be fighting for good choices to be made on the other side of the horseshoe. 😁

[Erin Caton @erin]

@DianaCMcNally @bethechange1682 @fordnation Then blame school boards and council/mayors while continuing to spend carelessly on projects we don’t need.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

In 2021, I wrote a story about how, when the going gets tough, the Ford government's priority is to "protect the king."

The latest FOI changes appear to underline that government principle.

NEW: Ontario’s transparency watchdog says the Ford government’s planned overhaul of freedom of information laws is a “shocking” proposal designed to hide the premier’s cellphone records from the public. #OnPoli
